Well, the Cache-Control header is not required for responses to be
cachable (and, depending on the value, may even prevent caching) -- a
lot of factors go into that decision.

It looks like your Squid is bumping TLS connections.

Your are telling curl to connect to a plain HTTP proxy (no encryption)
so --proxy-cacert does not apply to this transaction. The insides of the
CONNECT tunnel will be encrypted, of course, but those insides are meant
for the origin server, not the proxy.

For curl to trust a Squid-bumped connection, you want to specify
--cacert (or equivalent), and the file you specify must match the CA
certificate that Squid uses to generate fake certificates --
squid-ca-cert-key.pem in your squid.conf.


HTH,
